It seems like a line-up Arsenio Hall would have thrown together---not Oprah. It seems a little schlocky. Sister Sledge? Who cares?

She really fights for herself that's for sure. Tom Petty once said that Stevie Nicks is the only person who ever fought her way into his life. And I think about the drugs too. No relaspe. How many rock n roll stars can say that. She is strong-willed.

I had a strange experience last year. When rumours started circulating that Stevie was making an album with Dave Stewart, I emailed PerezHilton. To my suprise, I got an email the next day from him asking how I knew this, so I emailed him the stuff from Dave's site. All of a sudden it was on his Perez's and he has been keeping with all the Stevie stuff. I'm from Columbus, Ohio for god's sake.

The internet is an amazing thing. It puts us in contact with the big wigs. Now I'm trying to think up new things for Stevie.

This is a nice thread!
But I hope you're not trying to say Perez is a big wig!
He's just a Stevie fan with a blog,nothing more

Hell, no. But he got the word out there. People go to his site.

Wow small world ...Im in Ohio too. I was at the WNCI Birthday Bash Concert too! I remembering hearing at the last minute that Cher cancelled, and i said "Oh awesome Stevie will play longer now!!"

I was also at the Ohio State fair show. She sang a couple of lines of the "At The Fair" demo. Thats the best Stevie concert Ive ever been to. I saw her in Cleveland that tour too.

I guess she does have a lot of dedicated fans in Ohio.

That August 1996 concert was so much fun! We met up with a LOT of my Stevie Buddies... Drank a LOT from the Beers Of The World!!!!!

I just remember people were mostly roaming around, drinking during the afternoon of Voice Of The Beehive and the rest (who else?). People started sitting down for KC... and then...

Stevie!!!!!

The place was packed and people were SCREAMING for her!!!!!!

Stevie was on fire that night! Some friends of mine were her special guests backstage; one of them was the guy she partially wrote "Touched By An Angel" about.

It was one of the best nights (and trips!) of my life! Yay, Columbus '96!!!

I cant believe you DROVE...from TEXAS...to OHIO!! thats CRAZY!!! lol. crazy good, not crazy bad.
Is there any audio from either of the shows (Columbus State Fair 94, Columbus WNCI 96 Show) floating around out there???

I used to have both 1994 & 1996 on cassette, but my cassettes are lost or in Limbo somewhere. I remember being so excited about listening to that bit of "At The Fair" and Stevie talking about writing it.

My now~ex Eric & I drove from Dallas over a few days! We stopped in Texarkana the first night, spent the next night in Louisville (where Eric is from), and that Saturday morning we drove to Cleveland, to meet up with out friends who were Stevie's special guests.

We then went to Columbus, got a motel, ate at the Pizza Hut in north Columbus, and then headed for the Beers Of The World!!! And Stevie!

We could tell this was the beginning of Stevie's "comeback", and it was so cool to be there as part of it, experiencing it!

Another Ohioan here. It was funny when Marissa (LikeAWillow) visited me a few weeks ago and said she was so surprised how often Stevie/Fleetwood Mac is played on the radio. I hear her almost on a daily basis. Ohio loves Stevie.

Unfortunately I was too young for the Street Angel and '96 shows. It would have been amazing to see her at the State Fair. If anyone has the audio of this, please post it.
